Yup...search "OZ Prodrive P1". They're the wheels that yours are a replica of.

The Prodrive PWRC1 aka 'P1' was cast and made by OZ Racing in Italy. The Prodrive GC-010E and 010G were forged and made by Bridgestone in Japan. Same basic look....diff construction.

The only MINI app ever offered was a white 17x7E@42 P1. I had a set on the wife's cabrio (posted somewhere in this thread).

The Tenzo Mach 10, Rota Group A, Rota Tarmac I/II/II....all are copies.

very nice ... can you take a shot to show how far the spokes stick out ... i keep seeing photos of silver ones with the spokes wider than the rim, but it might not be so obvious on the black ones.

wanting to get some bronze DC5's myself

Ouch!

The Tenzo's look good, can't say the same about the Orciari kit though

On these you don't really notice the spokes sticking out unless you look head on from the front or back. They do stick out a bit from the way they are curved. I'll try to get some pics in the next few days.

No kidding.

And, I just gotta know...I've seen like two or three threads here where PGT posts...and you're right there...do you search on user for this stuff?. It's little freaky, man.

Kinda reminds me of the cable guy...

If you look closer, you will usually find him following my posts. Yes, it is freaky. I haven't once sought him out, but believe what you want to believe.

Got the Motegis on. Maybe PGT can keep himself from posting this time?

Nah...there are big differences...

PGT's car is understated and classy looking. Very well done.

Jayhawk is a blatant rip off that is running out of room for trinkets. My favorite is the Union Jack/KU combo...

Because when i think "British Empire"...I think Kansas

Cool wheels...I really like the "inner lip" thing that's going on. Have you thought about painting/powdercoating that inner lip in a red to match the rest of the scheme?

Also, what offset and width did you go with?
